A project adviser to the California New Deal Legacy Project, Leighninger (sociology, Arizona State U.) explains that the active building period of most New Deal Public works was about six years, yet in that short time they enhanced the American public with schools, courthouses, prisons, hospitals, rodeo grounds, parks, museums, fire stations, and other buildings that still contribute to the common wealth. Then he looks at the investment the projects required in terms that could be useful for planning today, should some politician ever again be interested in anything that does not pay off before the next campaign cycle.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this comprehensive survey combining architectural and social policy studies, Leighninger reappraises the enduring achievements of public investment during the New Deal era and argues that, though these initiatives produced the lasting backbone of the U.S. infrastructure, the value of these long-range investments are now being forgotten. In response, he systematically assesses the schools, housing, bridges, roads, power plants, courthouses, hospitals, museums, stadiums, zoos, parks, and other public facilities built under the auspices of the New Deal, most of which are still in use today. Leighninger's study concludes that the physical accomplishments of the New Deal have served as the core of the U.S. education, health, recreation, transportation, justice, and civic administration facilities for decades. These findings, he contends, will not only remind current generations of their indebtedness to the New Deal programs but also spark renewed debate about the long-range implications of public works versus pork barrel politics.
